I guess everybody's gone ...

Yup, I'm not here either.

Morning Astro, if your not here ... then where are you? How was your weekend?

My sleeping self is typing, the other half is at work.

Weekend was good .. my soccer team WON ... so all went well.
It rained alot ... so I was unable to get any space-type pictures.

I got my TC 2x and used it on my 80-200 ... nice ... though the lens was designed for AF first and not MF. Can't wait to test it on the 300mm that I should get in a few days. I needed a longer lens that is quick to move to get the International Space Station.

I'm going to try the TC on my telescope too .. why not .. might be neat to play with 5,000mm

I love images from space ... I really love that stuff. But I think youse peoples that shoot that are crazy. Crazy as bat crap.

Coffee is good.

I love images from space too, but I have a hard time breathing in space.

So I tend to just stay on earth and take pics.

I think we're just posting because of momentum. We've all slacked off. Especially Charlie. He was posting like a bat-out-of-hell at one point.

I've met my goal. Everything else is frosting.

Nahh ... you're just saving yourself for that sprint to the finish line. That's why I kick looking that the distance between us ... I am have respect and fear your closing kick.

I have met (and surpassed) my goal. I am not one of those people that is competitive in everything.

ooh, I'm going to try the TC on my telescope too .. why not .. might be neat to play with 5,000mm and 10 inches of light gathering.

Okay, Len isn't around so I got sloppy. "of space". I'm still on my first cup. I once had a conversation with a guy who was asleep. It was weird ... not weird weird ... but oddly weird.

this weekend i didn't shoot below f/6.3 or longer than 50mm; it was tough.

You break your zoom?

no. I broke my habits.

A big "Welcome Back" to Sharon.

I guess everybody's gone ...

Good morning, and thanks, Gary! I've missed all of you, as much as you can really "miss" people you've never actually met!
I will likely not be on too much for the next few days, at least. Just have too much to get accomplished.
I'm usually always logged in while I'm at work though, so I'll still pop in with a comment here and there, just not much actual postwhoring.

I'm not letting down my guard Charlie. But I'm terrible competitive. It was so hard to control when I played with my kids ... I had to keep telling myself that I didn't need to win. I didn't need to win ... I didn't need to win.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing ... or just a thing.

The very first game I played with my kids I won. He was upset .. I never won again until they got really older.

Okay, Len isn't around so I got sloppy. "of space". I'm still on my first cup. I once had a conversation with a guy who was asleep. It was weird ... not weird weird ... but oddly weird.

I had MANY conversations with my youngest son while he was asleep. You'd THINK you had successfully woken him up because he would be responding to you in complete sentences (which sometimes even made sense), but then he didn't remember a thing about it a few minutes later when he ACTUALLY woke up.
One of the most memorable ones was when this LONG conversation we had one morning when he told me all about these really fascinating facts he'd learned about one of the states (I think he was in 3rd grade at the time). A short time later, I asked him to remind me about one of the facts because it was so interesting, but I'd forgotten exactly what it was.

He said, "what are you talking about? I don't know anything about Connecticut. That's not anything like what we're studying in Geography right now." He had sleep-talked the entire fascinating conversation.
